Funny Faces

Last week Ava came over to play after Reghan got home from school. They are so silly together. Burke tries to keep up. They girls were doing gymnastics and Burke was trying to imitate them.

SANTA!

Sunday afternoon we went to Bass Pro Shop because Santa was going to be there. We went with Kevin, Heather and the girls. The kids wrote letters to santa, colored christmas stockings, and played games. This is the 1st time Burke has sat on Santas lap!

Richards Cousins

We made a trip to Lafayette to see Matt, Court, Nolan, and Meredith on Saturday. I was happy to get a couple group pictures of the kids!

Dog + Duck = BFF

Burke and Ethan didn't see eachother on Halloween so Ethan came over on Sunday for a couple minutes so we could get a picture. I LOVE that they are so close in age. They are going to be BFF's!!

Trick-or-Treat!

Paul, Burke and I went to my parents to Trick-or-Treat. I love seeing all the kids there. Burke really loved when people put candy in his bag.

The kids pictured are Grace, Hannah Arnett with Burke, and Ava Mazur with Burke

Happy Halloween!!

Sneak peak at Burkes costume. I put it on him this morning over his P.J.'s so he could get use to the hood.

Saturday night Burke had his FIRST sleepover at Mimi's. (I can count the number of times we have left him on 1 hand and it's only been for a short time so this was a big deal!!) Paul and I went to a wedding with his siblings and then we went to Blue Chip. We had a fun night out! I figured we would pick Burke up when we were done but when I called to check on him he was sleeping. My mom said he was really good and didn't cry at all. I think it was harder on me than it was on him!

Play-Doh

Tuesday the 13th we had 8 kids from mom's club over for a play date. They played in the toy room, in a blow up fire house and w/ play-doh. Burke loves when kids come over to play!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Saturday we went to Guse's to pick pumpkins. He had such a nice time. I'm sure we will be going back next year. Burke was pretty tired when we got there but he perked right up and wanted to check everything out. He carried a gourd the whole time! They had to coolest corn (sand)box. Burke really enjoyed that :) I love traditions like this!!

Lunch at Jimmy Johns

So tired on the way home. ( He took a 2 1/2 hour nap!)

Paul was very happy we were with him last week during his training. I wouldn't want to miss seeing Burke's cute little face everyday either. Each morning we walked Paul out and watched by the window so see when he got done. Burke slept in every morning until 7:30 or 8 and took 2-3 hour naps in the afternoons. We stayed very busy. We had a nice getaway but it was so nice to be back in our own house Friday afternoon.
